Achari Chicken recipe

Monday, August 29, 2011

Achari Chicken is a spicy chicken with all the ingredients involved in making Achar (pickle). Usually the process of making pickle is the same in whole world with just the difference in ingredients. Chicken is marinated and spiced with mustard, fenugreek, red chillies, saunf and all other ingredients in making pickle.
I have had the opportunity of having Pakistani dishes. I had an interest in cooking at an early age (I was 15 then). It is a little different tasting chicken dish with all the flavors from the mustard and fenugreek. Give it a try and you will know the difference. 

Ingredients:

Chicken Breast                                   1
(Cut it into medium size pieces)
Curd:                                                   1/2 Cup
Ginger garlic paste:                               2 Tablespoons
Turmeric powder:                                  1/4 Teaspoon
Coriander powder:                                 1 Teaspoon
Coriander leaves (Chopped):                   1/4 Cup
Coriander leaves:                                   2 strings for Garnish
Red chillis powder:                                1 Teaspoon
Green chillis:                                         7 cut them in long lengths
Fennel seeds(sounf):                             1/2 Teaspoon
Fenugreek Seeds(methi dana):               1/4 Teaspoon
Cumin seeds (zeera):                            1/4 Teaspoon
Kalonji:                                                1/2 Teaspoon
Mustard Seeds(rai dana):                      1/2 Teaspoon
Salt:                                                     to taste
Oil:                                                       2 Tablespoons

Method:

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan and add the fennel, cumin, mustard, fenugreek and kalonji seeds.
When they crackle, add the chicken and green chillies and fry it for 2 minutes.
Add the Ginger garlic paste and fry this until raw smell goes off. Add the turmeric, coriander and red chilli powders to the chicken mix.
Add Curd, 1/4 cup of coriander leaves, salt and mix it well.
Add 1/4 cup of water. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.
Finally garnish it with coriander leaves. Your yammy Achari Chicken is ready.
Serve it hot with Rice or Roties.
